摘要
Although labour productivity problems are thought of as a factor mainly caused by the lack of commitment by the labour force, it essentially arises by a process in which several parameters are interrelated such as the effects of legislation, management and labour responsibility. In the present study, the method of Labour Productivity Management by Ratio (WPMR) was used to assess labour productivity at the lignite mining company, GLE-Turkey, since this method takes into account the factors affecting labour productivity. The method was applied to the stripping area of GLE-Turkey in order to measure and interpret the labour productivity in this mine. A major conclusion of the present investigation was that labour productivity at GLE was found to be lower than should be expected. It was also found that most of the labour productivity losses were related to both legislative restrictions and the lack of management and supervision.
